Ideal Chicks Order - No Problems-Good Job

[ravencreek]

I have an order from Ideal that is shipping on the 18th. 14 chicks total. Some will stay with me and others were ordered for a family member. Any idea if they might put packing peanuts in the order? I heard that if there isn't 25 they do. I don't mind peanuts but it may make it harder to figure out who is who.
3 White Giant pullets
2 White Giant roos
2 Buff Orpington pullets
2 Silver Laced Cochin pullets
4 Ameraucanas pullets
1 Light Brahma roo

You can ask them to identify the breeds for you- They told me it wouldn't be a problem

I made two orders with Ideal Hatchery. The first order has Barred Hollands, Motlled Houdans and Buff Minorcas. It is due first week in May. The second order has La Fleche, Black Minorcas, Crevecoeurs and Rhode Island Wites. It is due the last week in April. I have never ordered from this company before and I am excited to see what I get.

LUCKY! I ordered from their 2 sebrights died right after arrival and 1 died about 5-6 weeks later she was always sick looking and hunched up. Plus I had 3 crossbeaked chickens!!, their still alive and doing very well actually, and one of the hen's beak is actually straightning up a bit.

Ideal called me last week to move my order up and I asked about the peanuts. She told me it depended on the weather on how many they would put in. Not to cold maybe 8. If still real cold up to 13. I ordered 12 chicks. I also asked if they can mark any peanuts and she put it onto the order so I expect them to come with marks on them so I know.
